Over 900 trees were planted by the Llangattock Area Community Allotment Society (LACAS) in an attempt to break the world record for the number of trees planted in one hour.

Between 11am and 12 noon on Saturday Decmber 5th, LACAS planted over 900 native hedge species as well as creating a new orchard using traditional varieties of apple, pear and damson in an effort to help break the current world record number of trees planted at various locations within one single hour.

Dubbed "Tree O'Clock", the campaign was being run by BBC's Breathing Places as part of National Tree Week and altogether they'd planned to plant over one million trees across the UK - Breaking the current record which stands at 635,143 trees.

Almost 50 people turned up to the Llangattock Allotment including the local cub pack, The Green Valleys Woodland Group, local allotment members and the ECO club from the local school to take part in the event.

Chairman of LACAS Jed Needs Said, " Tree O'Clock was a fantastic event that showed how local communities can come together and make a difference to combat climate change.  We are always looking at new ideas to be sustainable and we were incredibly pleased so many people turned up to take part."

With funding support from Brecon Beacons National Parks Authority Sustainable Development Fund, LACAS has developed new and innovative ways to support sustainability through local food production and has now become a well established part of the Llangattock and district communities.
